Transcriber’s Note

List of changes made to the original text:

[Page 9], “poloi” changed to “polloi” (the hoi polloi) (we’ll ignore the wrongness of using “the” as well as “hoi”; our author is an expert on postage, not Greek)

[Page 51], “controvening” changed to “contravening” (contravening the constitutional rights)

[Page 57], “be” changed to “he” (but he showed no hesitancy)

[Page 73], “neswpapers” changed to “newspapers” (indeed newspapers in general)

[Page 85], “Posmaster” changed to “Postmaster” (what our Postmaster General is after)
